@ Home 4 New Year

Yeah its been a busy week at the garage.. I got everything ripped off I needed to, I figured how to do the tricky welding bit.. Next week I can start doing proper work, welding, grinding & painting :) However now its time to celebrate new year ! :)

So yeah, these two show most of the stuff I've ripped off the car. Gonna sand and grind the axle bits and brakes and paint them nice.. I wish I could take them for sandblasting & powdercoating, but I havent got the monneyhh. :( So this'll have to do. Also I'd like to change the bushings but can't find aftermarket ones, and I reckon they cost a fortune in the dealer.. Have to find out.



The filler pipes are still on, fuck they're corroded, and I don't know where to find new ones.. Maybe the MX-6 part will fit, will have to find out, cos' fixing those is gonna be hell.

And I also got this baby as an xmas present from my friend.. very nice ! ;)



So I'll be back hopefully after a week or two hopefully with pics that show some real progress. I wanna get this baby done and runnin' before the summer.. oh yeah can't wait. :)))


As for now, happy New Year 2011 ! :)

Merry XMas!

Christmas is time for meeting your friends, having a laugh, ripping your Probe apart.

Yeah, theres just too many rust spots out there. Spot painting 'em makes no sense, so I'm gonna take fuel tank and the rear axle and the exhaust off, grind the whole rear area from rust, sand it down and paint it. It's a pretty big project but I hope my vacation will be enough. Also I got the gas bottle for the weld as xmas gift so I can finally start working with that too. Then after that comes the new brake and fuel lines...

No pics until I get home. :(

And happy New Year!
